OS X Tips #14
Go to a MapQuest map for directions quickly from any address in your Address Book.
Here’s how:
OPTION+mouse CLICK or CONTROL+ mouse CLICK (Right Click) on the address field on any entry in your Address Book. You will get a contextual menu pop-up. Select “map of” and a MapQuest link will open in your browser. Done.
Want to use Google Maps instead? Try this plugin for the Address Book.

Good tip. Unfortunately, it does not work for international addresses. Any way this can be changed for google maps? I think google supports a few more countries than MapQuest.
Good point. As far as I know there is no included way to change to Google. Maybe some XML hacking or an Address Book Plugin could accomplish this. Anyone else have any ideas, please post them?
I have updated this tip. I have found a nice plugin to use Google Maps in Address Book. Get it here: http://www.briantoth.com/addressbook/ Have fun.
